Newly installed printer only prints in black and white. I cannot find the setting to enable colour.
(both test page and colour copying work).
The old printing from pdf had an option for black and white that could be disabled. This is no longer present. I can't work out how to change the setting.

@andyjennings, Welcome to HP Support Community!
This could be an issue with the driver settings or the installed drivers, let us try to isolate and resolve the issue-
Check the settings before you send the print job. Refer to the document HP Printers - Print Settings Guide (Mac) for help.
ensure that the printer is up to date with its firmware and Mac is up to date with its software. If you are unsure you may use the links below to update the printer firmware and Mac software:
Remove and add the printer
Click the Apple menu, and then select System Preferences.
Depending on your operating system version, click Print & Fax, Print & Scan, or Printers & Scanners.
Click the name of your printer, click the Minus sign, and then delete the printer.
Click the Plus sign, and then click Add Printer or Scanner.
Click the Use or Print Using box, and then select AirPrint
Click Add to add the printer to the list.
Try to print.
Keep me posted for further assistance.
